Fibroids

What is Fibroids?

Fibroids are muscle tissue growths inside the uterine wall, cavity, or surface. They can range in size from a seed to large masses and are influenced by estrogen and progesterone levels.

What to watch for?

Signs include prolonged periods, pelvic fullness, lower back pain, frequent urination, or abdominal distension. Some women may experience fatigue due to anemia from excessive bleeding.

Diagnosis and Treatment:

Diagnosis involves pelvic examination, ultrasound, or MRI. Depending on severity, treatment may include hormonal therapy, uterine artery embolization, or minimally invasive laparoscopic myomectomy to remove fibroids safely.

When to see a doctor:

If you experience persistent pelvic pain, heavy menstrual flow, or reproductive issues, it’s time to consult a specialist for timely management.
